Every guy named Al in shambles right now.

We literally kicked someone from a call yesterday because his name just showed up as "Al" instead of his full name

I know a guy who changed his name to Allan because of how prevalent the topic of AI was getting in his messages

Al generated a massive income to support actions to help homeless people and stop new AI datacenters from being built in nature perserves.

He sounds like a bona fide hero, TBH. There's gotta be more like him out there, fighting bravely against other AIs for the rest of humanity, surely.

Unfortunate though he chose to target a rival Al's data centres instead of focusing on the important fight against Artificial intelligence
